Borrowing calligraphy
Calligraphy pays attention to both form and spirit, and formal beauty serves the beauty of god. The highlights in the book are the best. It is not easy to use a pen through the ages. When writing words, you should improvise. The beauty of metaphysics takes emotion first. "Taking advantage of the situation" can avoid the dullness and dullness of stippling, and make various arrangements for stippling, so as to see the static in the static and the dynamic in the dynamic. Therefore, ancient calligraphers often refer to stippling as "a certain trend", such as "willow trend" and "crescent trend". In other words, the situation shown in the table. Stone is the spirit, soul and life of calligraphy. If you want to learn calligraphy well, you must first learn to follow the trend and be good at taking advantage of it.
The ancients discussed books with potential as the first priority.
It is difficult for a husband to write a word. If he comes and goes, he will return it again and again. Be good at finding out and then write it out. Eastern Jin dynasty Twelve calligraphy articles by Wang Xizhi.
Calligraphy can be divided into two types: forward and backward. Shun refers to the process of writing, with the front into the pen. This kind of brushwork is mostly used by Wang Xizhi, which is fluent, meaningful and full of charm, and can highlight the smart style of Wei and Jin Dynasties. Reverse entry, starting a pen against the front entry, for example, writing a horizontal picture, trying to turn right first and then left, there is a reverse movement in the air, which is called taking advantage in the air. Then the pen tip enters the paper gently, runs in the opposite direction of the stroke, and then adjusts the pen tip. This method can write different postures, highlighting the beauty of being vigorous, implicit and gentle.
For example, the writing of the word "Spring" in Preface to Lanting, the world's first running script, takes the situation as the first priority, and the horizontal three strokes are slightly difficult, and the left and right two strokes compete. The word "day" is vertical and horizontal, and the strokes are difficult. Different strokes are written in different ways, and the situation is different. As Wu wrote in the True Story of Calligraphy: "The flat is stable. Take advantage of the situation. "
Taking advantage of the situation is also called creating momentum, which means "writing intentionally first" Before we start writing a book, we swing in the air and then start writing. The brushwork is neat, the stippling is smooth, and the knot is round and colorful, showing a broad artistic conception. For example, Huai Su's masterpiece "Self-Narrative Post" in the Tang Dynasty embodies this style.
Huai Su's "Autobiographical Post"
The ancients said: the pen is round. Square, folding method, stippling the starting and ending points of waves, square pointing out, word bone also; Round, hovering in the air with a pen, is also a pose. Round wrist, the tendon of the word is also. "
This is a way of creating momentum in calligraphy, which is beneficial to beginners and enjoyable to learn.
